- Another objectof our invention is to pro vide .agba-gof this type having four thicknesses of paper at the edges thereof.

Other objectsof our'invention will be set forth in the following description and drawings, it being understood that the above general statement of the objects of our inven- 'tion is intended to generally explain the'same and not tolimit it in any manner.

I V I Theblank B has a top 260, a bottom 261, an open side, and a closed side which may be pleated to provide having-twoadditional layers of paper, so that the blank includes llf our his blank is'open at one side and at'the edges thereof.

' The first operation according to our method is .to cut a rectangular strip from the botclosed side, are bent over on thescore' lines blank has been folded andpasted down, the closed side has eight layers-of paper, and the g 1 manner to complete the bag.

Without departing from its spirit.

The open edges of the blank can be closed in any suitable We have described a preferred emb-odis ment of o'urinvention', but it is clear that numerous changes and omissions could be made l/Veclaim: I g 1. A' method of making a garment'bag ing outer faces and a. closed plaited sidecomprising a plurality of additional intermediate layers of paper, said blank being open at the edges thereof and at the other side thereof,

then cutting strips from one of said faces and line's intermediate the edges of the cut face, and securing said folded-over edges to the cut face.

" 2. A method of making a garment bag which consists in forming a pa er blank having end faces and a closed plalted side com prisinga plurality of additional intermediate layers ofpapens aid blank being open at the edges thereof and at the other side thereof, then cutting strips from one of said faces and from said intermediate layers of paper at the edges of the blank so that the uncut face projects beyond the cutfaceandfsaid intermedi- 1 in position. I

ate layers, folding over all the layers of the blank on lines intermediate the edges of the cut face, and securing the folded-over layers 1 3. A method of making a garment bag which consistsin forming a blank withouter faces of unequal length, said faces being con nected at one side by acloseclplait compris ing a'pluralityof additional intermediate layr em of paper, 7 said intermediate: additional layersof paper having a length shorter than thelength of'the longer face, and folding over theedge portions of .the blank on lines intermediate the edges of the shorter face,
